God's Free Gift
Where would you go if you died today?
Most people believe they would go to Heaven. But how can you be sure? Many people think they will go to Heaven because of their religion, heritage, upbringing, social status, or simply because they are a better than average person. However, the Bible is very clear on this subject. If you're not absolutely sure you are headed to Heaven, please take a serious look at the following and you will see for yourself, that you really can be sure you're headed to Heaven.
Salvation
The Bible Way to Heaven:
1. Recognize your condition.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) None of us is good enough to go to Heaven on our own merit. Because we are sinners, no matter how much good we do, we always fall short.
2. Realize the penalty for sin.
For the wages of sin is death... (Romans 6:23a) Just as there are wages for good, there is punishment for wrong. The penalty for our sin is eternal death in a place called Hell.
3. Believe Christ died for you.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) Christ showed His great love for us when He died on the cross to pay our sin debt.
4. Trust Christ alone as your Savior.
...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23b) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13) Everlasting life is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith.
Let us help you word a prayer. (Realize that what saves is your faith in Jesus Christ, not saying mere words.) If you will trust Jesus Christ as your Savior, pray a simple prayer.
Prayer is simply talking to God. Tell Him that you know you are a sinner and that you deserve to pay your own sin debt. Acknowledge that Jesus died for you to pay the debt you owe, Today, as best as you know how, you will trust Him as your Savior. You will depend on Him from this moment on for your salvation. Ask God to help you live for Him and be a good Christian. If you have trusted Jesus Christ to save you, please let us know. We'd like to be sure you have a Bible and help you grow as a new Christian. Once you are saved, you are saved for eternity. You cannot lose your salvation. No creature or thing can take it away from you.
God says:
I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish. (John 10:28)But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12)Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
So now what?
God has many Blessings in store for you. Once you have accepted God's free gift, you can be assured you will spend eternity in Heaven. This is the greatest Blessing you will ever receive. However, to better understand all of God's Blessings, you should read His Words daily in the Bible (1611 King James Authorized Version), join a good Bible Believing Church where you can learn and grow in the Christian Faith, surround yourself with other believers, and be sure to share your new found knowledge with others.
God Bless You.
